Ernst Equation and Riemann Surfaces: Analytical and Numerical Methods

by Olaf Richter and Christian Klein

In this volume the solutions to the Ernst equation associated to Riemann surfaces are studied in detail, and physical and mathematical aspects of this class are discussed both analytically and numerically. Exact solutions to Einstein s equations have been useful for the understanding of general relativity in many respects. They have led to physical concepts as black holes and event horizons and helped to visualize interesting features of the theory...
